I didn't like hotel's spirit that we needed to pay extra from everything: parking, room with a balcony, wifi etc. We were the only guests in the hotel and instead of giving us a room with a balcony (which would have been good service during an off-season time), we needed to pay extra to get a balcony. We were told it costs 15 euros more to get a room with a balcony but in the end, it turned out to be 15 euros per night and we were charged more than discussed. Additionally, cleaning lady didn't seem to understand we didn't want her to get in and came to the room several times in the mornings. Also, the walls of the room were so thin, we woke up every morning when the owners started to get ready for the day. Overall, the hotel settings are ok, but as the service is so lousy (except the nice guy serving breakfast, who was great), I wouldn't recommend the place to others.

Great view over Lago Como. We found it well sign posted when arriving by car. Room was comfortable but basic. Great balcony. Good breakfast. Great view over Lago Como comes at a price of a 15-20 minute walk up the hill from the town centre. Okay for us but perhaps not so good for older travellers.

We stayed for 2 nights and the hotel is average. It is clean but definitely overpriced. There are several things worth mentioning. First, the hotel staff is very unhelpful in case something is wrong and you complain. We spent a whole night without a minute of sleep due to strong winds that were making the adjacent rooms' window shutters slamming every minute and making horrible noise. We and other guest complaint and asked for a refund but we were told that it was not a problem of the hotel but it was the wind that prevented us from sleeping. So, they refused to give us any money back for the terrible night. (Plus the reception works only from 8 am to 6 or 7 pm and there was no way to reach anybody during the night). The staff speaks almost no English and they use that to prevent you from arguing with them. They pretend that they cannot understand what you are saying to them. And third, the hotel appears to be quite far away from downtown up on a very steep hill. So, bare in mind quite the walk you need to do everyday whenever you are going back. I would definitely not recommend the hotel or stay again there.

Very helpful staff at the reception and at breakfast. Room was clean and tidy and the basics (bed, bathroom) were in decent condition. Advertise as "water views", but you have to walk down to the end of the balcony and then you only get partial views. No views from inside the room itself.

Spacious, bright room with lovely big balcony. Lots of clothes space and plenty of hangers! Good for parking, but feel should have been included in Hotel price. Lovely little pool with very helpful & friendly manager, Antonello! No air-conditioning. Well over half of the "Lake view" was blocked by roof in front. Ten-minute walk to Menaggio was more like 20-25 mins, down steep, slippery, not-very-well lit steps. 11a.m. check-out was a bit of a rush, midday would be better.

We enjoyed the proximity of the Como lake , the fact that it was isolated from the rather busy city centre of Mennagio and the friendly personnel in the restaurant. However the price which we paid (652 euro,incl breakfast) versus comfort was largely overrated.

The location is good and the external catering for breakfast and bar is good. Hotel is not well maintainanced. Electrical plugs in the room were in bad conditions. Room furnitures were old and in bad conditions. Swiming pool in bad conditions. Everything looked without care and probably this Hotel has the worst staff you could ever imagine. Staff should have at least good manners and that did not happened at all. For sure I do/will not recommend this hotel to anyone. Even more I strongly suggest you taking away this Hotel for your list. No one deservs this experience. People use to trust Booking.com because they check the hotels they offer.

Tricky to find, quite a distance from the town. Rather dingy room for 5 of us. Breakfast disappointing. OK for an overnight stay but will look elsewhere next time we visit.

We coiuldn't connect with the hotel because our calling card didn't work in Monaco so we got there too late and the reservation desk was closed at 8:00 PM. We rang the bell anyway as we had no place to stay and they were understanding and gave us our reserved room. We checked the restaurant as hadn't eaten dinner and it was closing but they said they will make us some spaghetti. The cook stayed and made wonderful spaghetti for us. The waiters were so kind and helpful. The breakgast was good and the hotel clerk couldn't have been nicer. Some day we will be back as we had a wonderful experience1 The hotel closes at 8:00 PM.

It has a nice view, good balcony. Very poor reception lacks professional attitude. facilities are very basic eventhough they can improve a lot. The 3 star rating is bit misleading. Reception is closed most of the time. No airconditioning, heating. Breakfast was buffet but someone looking over your shoulder. It has a pool, gym but not so great.

The best thing about Hotel Sonega was the balcony which had a few across Lake Como The furniture in the room was very shabby and some of the tiles on the balcony needed replacing the 500 metres to the front was a bit misleading and there was no mention of the very hilly walk down to it the reception has very limited opening hours

The gym was good Very poor location, you need a car for this hotel. Its a family run place like Faulty Towers. The reception and other facilities are closed and locked during most of the day and all night. Its not a 3 star hotel, more like half a star, I went from hotel Britania Excelciour which is 3 star but I would give it 4 stars and only paid 50 euros a night, then to this Faulty Towers run hotel and paid 108 euros a night. Got ripped off.

The best thing about my stay here, is that I hadn't booked for a week and luckily only had two nights booked in! It was awful, certainly not three star, would in my opinion only just scrape a one star. The room was extremely basic, we could have paid an extra 20 euros for a room with a lake view, this would have meant hanging over the balcony and using your imagination! To get to the hotel on foot from the ferry was an extremely steep winding road with no pavement. The reception was open when the man turned up, there was no hairdryer or full length mirror in the room, to find a hairdryer I had to ask the chef in the adjoining restaurant to ask the hotel man. I should think the room was last decorated in 1982 when the hotel opened, and the shower certainly didn't look as if it had been clenaed on a regular basis.

Ce qui nous a plus le plus ,c'était le site magnifique qu'il y a autour de l'hotel avec ces marches qui permettent de descendre à pied vers le centre ville. Ce qui nous à déplus c'etait le buffet du petit déjeuné qui est vraiment dérisoir de plus la télévision n'a aucune chaine qui fonctionne,et le sonna qui est toujours eteint a quoi sert-il??

Cet hôtel ne mérite pas la classification 3 étoiles : chambres propres mais déco hyper simple, la literie est bonne , par contre couvertures usées et sans doute pleines d'acariens!!! Salle de bains avec chauffage électrique qui ne fonctionnait pas la 1ère nuit !!!

Schon der Empfang war eine Katastrophe - dummer Mitarbeiter. WLAN, das in allen Hotels gratis angeboten - wird mit Euro 3,-- /Stunde verrechnet. Das Zimmer - eine Zumutung- zum sofortigen Davonlaufen - wie eine desolate Jugendherberge aus den 50 er Jahren. Wie wir dann vom einzigen freundlichen Mitabeiter erfahren haben, geht es allen Gästen so wie uns - man möchte früher abreisen und muss dafür noch Strafe bezahlen. Es ist eine Schande, daß booking.com so ein Hotel überhaupt anbietet. Man sollte von Ihnen Geld zurückfordern. Diese Nächtigungen waren eine echte Strafe.
